Tipper truck intentionally pulls into my oncoming cycle lane, blocking the entire road we both come to an abrupt halt less than a meter from each other.
Face to windscreen, I ask him what he thought he was doing? His response - Fk you you f*ing tw*t. Stalemate.
Clearly there would have been no reasoning with the man, I dismount, but once I have my bike in my hands, I have the overwhelming desire to do something naughty with it, so before I catch myself, I've swung the back end of it up to his fat ugly face leering down on me from the windscreen and thwack.
Having not thought this through at all, imagine my surprise as his cab door opens and he is coming at me.
Somehow I manage a running mount, find my cleats and I'm off down the pavement that he has forced me onto.
I find myself whooping and cheering as he chases after me along the road... kinda lucky he was a fat bastard.
Clearly I'm a dick, and really, really shouldn't have done that... but just for the adrenalin buzz of getting away... 9/10
